MCAL soccer at halfway point

I haven’t been able to make it out to any spring sports as of yet but MCAL soccer was my beat long before I assumed the role of prep guy. So far, the results have been pretty interesting.
The Redwood girls were predicted by everyone to be the class of the league, but losses to Marin Catholic and Tam and a tie with Terra Linda have the Giants looking up in the standings. It’s the coaches No. 2 pick Tam that is doing all the damage so far. The Red-tailed Hawks have put together a 6-0-1 start to carry a 7-point lead in the standings into the halfway point. The Hawks finally solved MC this year and posted a win over Redwood. a tie with Branson remains the only blemish on their record.

As for a sleeper team, look no further than Novato. With a 3-3-1 record, the Hornets are right in the thick of things. A favorable schedule has helped them but the Hornets are a team that could win six games and sneak into the playoffs at this point.

With just one loss apiece, it’s hard to qualify MC and Drake as disappointments by any stretch of the imagination but with only one win each, one of these teams could be looking at an upward climb to get into contention by the end of the season. Both teams have three ties on their records, including one against each other.
